    “It’s impossible.


    Although my master’s cultivation is slightly inferior to that thief’s, how could he not even have the chance to escape or cry for help?” The young man’s face turned deathly pale as he spoke with disbelief.


    “Hmph, what do you know?


    It’s not just any early Nascent Soul cultivator; that person has even killed cultivators of the same rank before.


    It’s not surprising that your master was killed without warning by him.


    But tell us everything exactly as Old Xiao told you, and make sure you’re being completely honest,” Ge Tianhao replied with a cold snort, a clear note of irritation in his voice.


    At that moment, Lin Yinping extended her divine sense to rapidly search the area, and suddenly, with a sway of her slim waist, she appeared seven or eight zhang away at a particular spot.


    She reached down and picked up an object from the ground, her face turning suddenly ugly as she examined it.


    “My master didn’t say much; he only entrusted his life-bound Magical Disc to me and arranged that if there was any abnormality with the disc or if he did not return after a set time, I was to immediately reveal everything about that person to you elders in order to rescue him from danger in time,” the young man murmured.


    “There’s no need to say anymore; it’s certain that your teacher has already encountered trouble.


    Is this object used on your master’s ancient treasure?” Lin Yinping raised her hand, and an object shot directly at the young man.


    The young man hastily caught it, and after looking at it, his heart sank immediately.


    It was a small piece of yellow wood, flickering with a familiar, yet faint, spiritual light.

    It was indeed a fragment of the old man’s Wooden Shield.


    “This is from my master’s Mu Kui Shield.


    This shield was exceptionally solid, and its defensive power was astonishing; how could it have been destroyed?” The young man’s complexion grew even paler.


    “Daoist Lin, it seems that Old Xiao is no longer among the living.


    At first, upon hearing your words, I wasn’t quite convinced that that person really had the divine skill to kill cultivators of the same rank, but now it seems this person is even more formidable than we anticipated by a good margin.


    Although Old Xiao was only an early Nascent Soul cultivator, he was proficient in several extraordinary escape techniques, yet he was killed without even having a chance to cry out for help.


    It seems that this person’s divine skill must be no less than those of late Nascent Soul cultivators.


    The few of us alone are probably not enough to subdue him,” Ge Tianhao said solemnly to the Endless Sky Saintess without paying any attention to the young man.


    “What, Brother Ge, you’re not planning on reclaiming your sect’s treasure now, are you?


    Since the Ghost Sifting Banner has fallen into this person’s hands, it’s very likely that your four elders have also met their demise by him,” Lin Yinping said slowly, furrowing her elegant eyebrows.


    “Hehe.


    To kill a Yin Sifting Sect elder and seize our sect’s treasure, it doesn’t matter if he is not a late Nascent Soul cultivator or even if he is indeed one.


    Our sect will absolutely not let this person off.


    But it seems that this person also has quite a grudge with you from the Heaventide Prairies.


    Otherwise, Daoist Lin, as a clan’s Endless Sky Saintess, wouldn’t have stayed in Great Jin for several years just for this person,” Ge Tianhao chuckled dryly, with an insinuating tone.


    “As long as this person can be killed, I can add an additional twenty percent to the conditions the Holy Temple previously agreed to with your sect.


    However, of the treasures on his person, our Holy Temple must be allowed to choose one first,” Lin Yinping said with a slight pursing of her red lips, suddenly giving a charming smile.


    “Thirty percent.


    Capturing and killing such a formidable cultivator, our sect does not yet know how many we will lose.


    As for the treasures, we had already agreed to let your palaces select first, so of course there’s no further dispute,” Ge Tianhao replied without hesitation.


    “I can agree to these terms,” Lin Yinping hesitated only briefly before readily agreeing.


    “Good.


    I trust that as the Endless Sky Saintess, Daoist friend would not go back on her word.


    Disciple Hu, send out a Sound Transmission Talisman immediately to summon all the elders and disciples of our sect in Jinjing, and spare no effort in searching for this person.


    Since he has gone to the city market, he will definitely attend the grand auction, which is our best opportunity to capture him.


    But we must act covertly in all this, so as not to attract the attention of other cultivators from various sects; lower-ranked disciples must not engage with this person at all.


    If the elders have not gathered together, they should not act rashly either.


    The best course of action would be to lure him into an Array and attack him all at once,” Ge Tianhao turned to another Yin Sifting Sect cultivator and ordered.


    “Should we also inform Sect Leader Fang?


    After all, it was he who dispatched the four elders who ended up perishing,” the male cultivator asked.


    “Since the last time, when the plan to repair the Ghost Sifting Banner was only half-completed and the incident with the four elders occurred, Sect Leader Fang has already made the Great Elders very unsatisfied with him.


    I heard he is now in seclusion refining an impressive treasure, even if he rushes here immediately, he won’t be able to make it in time for the auction.


    However, we can first send a Sound Transmission Talisman to him.


    If we don’t manage to capture this person with our own efforts, we can ask for the assistance of his faction’s forces to deal with him,” Ge Tianhao nodded after a moment of hesitation.


    After a thorough discussion, the group immediately rode streaks of light and left the area.


    Naturally, to avoid causing a commotion among ordinary mortals, they also immediately concealed themselves after rising into the air.


    Although there are rules in Jinjing against cultivators flying, cultivators from a major sect like the Yin Sifting Sect didn’t take such rules seriously.


    …


    At the same time, Han Li was walking on a less crowded street over twenty li away, scanning through the contents of the storage pouch from the little old man with his divine sense.


    The pouch was filled with a mishmash of items that would truly require some effort to sort through.


    Suddenly, he paused in his steps, and a look of astonishment appeared on Han Li’s face.


    “What is it, have you discovered something?” The Monarch Great Development asked lazily through transmission.


    “What is this?


    It seems like something I have never seen before.” Han Li flipped his palm, and a slender jade bottle, about six or seven inches tall and emerald green, appeared in his hand, exquisitely made.


    He stroked the neck of the bottle with a finger, and a piercing cold sensation spread from his fingertip, causing a look of surprised doubt to appear on Han Li’s face.


    “`


    Afterward, he lifted the bottle with one hand and gently shook it-a faint sound of liquid flowing came from within.


    Han Li’s eyebrows twitched.


    “Could it be some kind of Spiritual Liquid inside?


    However, the liquid in this bottle is a bit strange; even Divine Sense can’t penetrate it,” Han Li muttered to himself as he gazed at the bottle.


    “If you want to know what it is, just carefully identify it when you get back.


    This is a street of ordinary mortals; don’t be hasty in opening it and causing trouble,” warned Monarch Great Development.


    “I naturally know that,” responded Han Li without any change in expression, flicking his wrist.


    The bottle vanished from his hand without a trace.


    “Han Li, since you’ve exposed your identity, you’ll need to be extra cautious in Jinjing.


    The Yin Sifting Sect and the Endless Sky Saintess won’t let you off easily.


    They’ll probably guess that you’ll attend the auction,” Monarch Great Development remarked.


    “No worries.


    I don’t believe there’s any second Spirit Beast in Jinjing that can see through Illusion Techniques.


    As long as I avoid the late Nascent Soul cultivators in the city, there shouldn’t be any major issues.


    The forthcoming auction is the only way to assemble the necessary materials.


    Despite some risk, we must take this chance,” Han Li seemed to have already considered this matter.


    “That’s true.


    However, since this time it’s to collect puppet materials, should there be any real danger, I will break precedent and assist you with the ‘God Shocking Sting’ divine skill from the Great Development Technique, just as in the recent battle,” Monarch Great Development said indifferently.


    “Thank you, senior.


    With your words, I feel much more at ease,” replied Han Li joyfully.


    An hour later, Han Li returned to the Daoist temple as casually as an ordinary mortal, and after a leisurely chat with the Sect Master, he nonchalantly walked back to his room.


    Casually setting up several Temporary Spell Formations around the room, Han Li then took out the green bottle and placed it before his eyes for a thorough examination once again.


    After a long pause, he raised his hand and forcefully grabbed the cap of the jade bottle.


    A sudden thought flashed past, and he deftly lifted off the cap.


    Instantly, a burst of cold light shot out from inside the bottle, and the temperature in the entire room plummeted rapidly.


    Even Han Li, who had cultivated in the Purple Apex Flames’ cold arts, couldn’t help but shiver when enveloped by the cold light.


    Startled, Han Li’s body burst into a layer of violet flames.


    The moment the cold light touched the flame, it was repelled.


    The entire room, wherever the cold light swept, immediately froze solid with thick ice.


    If there weren’t several layers of restrictive formations already in place, the cold air would’ve leaked outside the room.


    It seems that while this cold light isn’t as formidable as the Purple Apex Flames, its degree of extreme coldness was not far from the Celestial Ice Flame.


    “What is this thing?”


    Curious, Han Li wrapped his hand in violet flames and firmly shook the bottle once more, causing more cold light to spray out of the opening.


    As he watched the cold light disperse in midair and make the room even colder, he finally moved the bottle underneath his gaze.


    With one sweep of his eyes, a blue glint flashed in his pupils.


    Looking through the hazy white mist, the inside of the bottle glimmered with a dazzling silver light.


    “It seems like-pour out a drop from the bottle and carefully catch it with a jade plate.


    Let me have a closer look,” Monarch Great Development’s voice suddenly turned somewhat excited.


    Stirred, Han Li didn’t say another word.


    He pulled out a palm-sized Jade Dishware from his storage pouch, while his other hand held the bottle steady with a slight tremor of his wrist.


    A drop of silver liquid fell steadily from the bottle’s mouth, producing a pleasant, crisp sound as it landed on the dish, turning into a bead the size of a rice grain which spun endlessly in the dish.


    To Han Li’s surprise, this silver bead itself emitted no coldness at all, appearing quite ordinary.


    “Indeed, there is no mistake.


    It is Cold Marrow which can only be nurtured by Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade,” Monarch Great Development sighed and spoke slowly.


    “I’ve heard of ice jade, but what is Cold Marrow?


    It seems very rare,” Han Li asked, puzzled.


    “Cold Marrow is essentially a type of jade marrow, which is one of the most commonly used materials for refining pills and artifacts.


    However, this kind of Cold Marrow only grows within Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade and is something most people never have the chance to see.


    If I’m not mistaken, only the Northern Night Little Polar Palace in the northwest of Great Jin possesses such a small bottle, treasured as a sect-guarding heirloom across generations.


    Beyond that, I haven’t heard of it being produced anywhere else.


    Oh right, that Snow Crystal Bead which you’ve refined comes from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade,” Monarch Great Development replied calmly.
